Sticking it to my New Years resolution!

My New Years resolution was to hang out with my friends more!

It's been 31 days into 2014 and I'm very proud to say it's been going so well! :)

Though the first week of the New Year I was still working doubles every day and working with co-workers I like doesn't really count as 'hanging out with friends'...

The second week however brought:
A lunch date with my friend Jarrid to Tim Hortons (the usual)
And in later days:
 
A mall date with my friend Anna when I bought this white chocolate mocha! And of course a few other things like a leather jacket from Dynamite and some new makeup
After saying we would board together in December and never did :(
Jesse and I finally got to hit the slopes together at Mount St Louis! After my four year hiatus from boarding... I think I might still be a bit sore but it was so much fun!
Mike brought me to his college to see Tokyo Police Club and Hollerado for FrostWeek!
I went out for dinner to Shoeless Joe's with Tyler R and Mike, where I got this fantastic blue drink called Blue Line! (Pretty much alcoholic blueberry lemonade mmmmm)
I had the most delicious lunch date with Jarrid, Tina, Arthur and Caitlin after Tina and I had been trying so hard to go out for sushi but I was always busy or broke... :(
That plate has an eel roll, tempura shrimp, avocado and salmon hand roll, California roll, Philadelphia roll (with cream cheese) and a crab stick roll!
Pure heaven haha :) and we're trying to make this a monthly thing

I had a great evening out for dinner with the West 49 crew, a few of us were going to go out for a game of pool after but we might have fallen asleep! Haha :$

Another evening out after a long work day with my favourite ginger, Anna! To Tim Hortons of course, where I should've eaten dinner but I had a cinnamon donut instead. My favourite! :)

Even though it's not a friend outing, I took my mom to see August: Osage County before she goes on vacation and it was absolutely wonderful. The entire cast was phenomenal!
I headed into Toronto for an interview at my school and had an early dinner with Jarrid at Jack Astors, where I tried this amazing Razzmopolitan martini!

I finally went to see American Hustle with Ryan! It was quite good, very entertaining but I think it dragged a bit...

AND THAT BRINGS ME TO THE END OF JANUARY!
What a month it has been, good and bad.
C'est la vie ❤︎
~~~~~~~~
In 26 days Jarrid and I are going to see Kings of Leon on their Mechanical Bull tour! I'm probably going to cry from excitement because I wasn't able to see them when they came to Toronto for the Come Around Sundown tour.

Basically, I think I'm following up on this resolution thing pretty well! I hope it continues because there are few of my friends who I have yet to see. I have 11 more months that hopefully will be filled with exceptional experiences and countless adventures and lots of quality time spent with my friends.

Much love

Writing & Reading

So I've decided I'm going to start writing a book.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure how it's going to go or if I'll even finish it. Probably will become one of those things I start and never get back into and then forget about.

I do have some decent ideas for it though. No fantasy or surrealism.
